No, Applets were just clunky and slow-loading--that's why they weren't popular. Any website loading one would freeze up the whole machine. But there were definitely Java Applet games, and I happen to remember the last one I ever played: Minecraft.
Flash loaded quickly and seamlessly, but otherwise had all the same problems.

- amlib 3y agoDamn, I remember playing creative minecraft back in 2010, a surprisingly good experience for a java applet embedded in the browser. All running on linux with fairly smooth opengl rendering. I also remember using a wrapper/front-end called world of minecraft that allowed you to run the jar outside of the browser and even had multiplayer support...
